Self-hosted IP-phone network (feddit.nu)

Just for fun, a few associations I'm part of want to set up our own IP-phone network, with our own phone numbers and such.

Is this possible?
How would one go about doing this?
Does it have to be it's own separate network or can it work via the internet without special setup beyond a public IP?

You will want a couple things. First get yourself some VoIP phones. Yealink is a decent brand. Grand stream Wave is a good option for Android and iOS softphones.

Secondly download a PBX. I recommend Fusion PBX others will recommend 3cx but the main thing is to avoid Asterisk.

Finally get yourself a SIP trunk from a phone provider.

Now cry in pain as you are constantly bombarded with SIP attacks in your home.

Interesting - why avoid asterisk?

I looked into fusion to play with but I’ve been using asterisk casually since like the 00s with no issues.

Owned by a for profit *aaS provider whose motivations are money.

Fusion PBX is a front end of freeswitch is not. Mark and the team at Fusion are top notch with their support.

Ah yes that makes sense. I was taken aback by my latest install of freepbx. I feel it wasn’t as aggressive during the Digium days but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

I heard good things about free switch, although it seems like a paradigm change. I’ll have to check it out.
